Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef cooked, drained
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 Tbsp diced jalapenos can use diced green chilies instead
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama® seasoning
  • 28 oz can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3-4 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 3-4 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 16 large flour tortillas
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 oz can red enchilada sauce
  • 6 ½ oz can black olives sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° and spray a 13x9" baking-dish with a non-stick spray right before filling.
  • In a skillet cook ground-beef over medium-high-heat, then add the onions and cook till beef is no longer pink.
  • Add garlic into beef mixture and cook for an extra 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally. Drain grease and return to pan.
  • Sprinkle seasonings, jalapenos, red pepper flakes and pepper over ground beef. Stir.
  • Pour big can of enchilada-sauce to meat mixture, stir till mixed and cook over moderate heat till warm and bubbly. Stir as necessary.
  • Open smaller enchilada-sauce and then pour just a small piece into prepared baking dish. Put aside.
  • Take 1 tortilla at a time, add a few heaping spoonfuls of meat mixture into center of tortilla, followed closely by both kinds of cheese and around 5-6 olives.
  • Roll and put each enchiladas from the baking-dish. After the base layer is stuffed, pour a bit more enchilada sauce on the top and repeat by putting the remaining enchiladas on top to the surface.
  • Then add any leftover meat and mix on top of the enchiladas then pour on the remaining enchilada-sauce over the enchiladas, top with remaining cheese then add the olives.
  • Cover with foil and put baking-dish on a baking-sheet to catch any spillage and bake for 60 minutes or till cheese is hot and sweet.
  • Carefully remove from oven and serve with sour-cream, slit green onions, cilantro and sliced avocados, if necesary.
